Heh, heh. I don't know if you've been having the same problem, TC, but I get at least one e-mail per day asking me what position I have in the BTVS office. I've gotten' a few requests for season finale hints. The funniest letter demanded that I give him/her the e-mail and home addresses of the stars of BTVS. To anyone out there who is still under this false impression, TC and I, Anime Nut, are not affiliated with the production staff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in any way. I get the impression that some people are reading our often-lengthy posts and thinking, "This guy has a lot to say about the show...he must work for them!!!" I'll admit, the first time I read TC's posts on the board, I suspected that he was working for the show. Of course, as soon as I saw that Inside Edition segment, that suspicion quickly proved impossible. Heh, heh, I'm just joking, TC. You carried yourself very well, although you REALLY shouldn't have craned your head back when you laughed. HA! I'm still joking. No, really. Anyways, all I'm trying to say is that if we're posting to the Posting Board, AND we work for the show, then our names would be listed in the Posting Board FAQ. Speaking of which, I'm still anxiously awaiting the Board's complete resurrection. As Lawless pointed out earlier, you can read the Board, but you can't post to it as of now. Hopefully, the next time you see my name, it'll be on the Posting Board.

B-What if you guys get really, really intense, and then you find out he has a hairy back. W-Well no, he doesn't talk like someone who would have a hairy back. MC-Will I be excited? F-You'll die. X-Oh, I can't fool you. You see right through my petty charade. X-You're going to be missing out. I'm planning to be witty. I'm going to make fun of all of the people who won't talk to me.

That's really more of a line. G-Hoping and betting, that's what we've got. MC-You want to throw in praying, be my guest. G-"By the power of the circle of Kayless, I command you!" It's Kayless, with a "K". X-Hey, I got to hit someone! W-Malcolm, remember me, your girlfriend? *clang!* I think it's time we break up. *clang!* But maybe we can still be friends. *clang!* G-If it's to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible.

Be sure >to edit the key next time, Maureen! I'd like to try to keep the attributions consistant from one quote list to another. So even though Cordelia didn't appear in this episode (and thus, isn't in the quote list), I didn't use "C" to indicate Miss Calendar. And, yes, Darla is dead (un-un-dead? ), but she does appear in a quote list, so I'm keeping her in the key so people will know who the "D" is when they're scoping through old lists. So the key will grow as I add new people in new quote lists, but I'm not gonna delete people unless it's clear that they're only going to be in one episode.

Please help me Refers to the annoying kind of puzzle where the solution involves something convoluted. For instance, a man is found hanging by the neck. There are no chairs or tables nearby, so it couldn't have been suicide. And by the way, there's a puddle of water on the floor, right beneath the guy. It turns out the guy had stood on a block of ice, and as the ice melted, he lost his support and strangled to death. That kind of thing.

In a quite few comedic sexual jokes and pop culture sexual references, they always seem to involve "midgets"... but I have no idea where the block of ice came from... for said midget to stand on since Willow *is* taller than Buffy... or maybe even Frigid B... oops. i didn't say that.

I have decided to get another account (telnet) with Eskimo to house my pages and I'll get 2 free lists with it (which Elaine and I will use for the GASPers). I'm going to see if I can transfer my pages over to my current Eskimo account without going over the allowed amount, if not most likely the pages will be done till probably Monday or Tuesday, whenever EN gets my check, they're in Seattle, so I doubt it will take to long, heck if I get a check in the mail today they might get it tomorrow.

I had a similar problem with my website. Whether or not it was more major than yours is debatable. For every day that an episode of BTVS airs, I like to alter my site slightly so when you punch in the URL (http://www2.uic.edu/~ahufan1/btvs), you would go to a teaser page that shows the episode title and its print ad. Well, when "The Witch" was re-aired last week, I did the same alteration. However, through a few mental slips and screw-ups, I somehow managed to delete my entire title page. For about ten minutes, I just sat there, staring at the computer. I hopelessly searched through my other directories, hoping the file wasn't completely lost, but rather misplaced. Alas, it was gone. So, I just left the computer for a few hours, got some food, and just sulked in my room for a while. Finally, later that night, I decided to go back to the computer lab and rebuild that title page from scratch. It took me approximately two and a half hours to do so. When it was finally done, I just sat there, tall and proud, as if I had just scaled the Matterhorn like those guys in red suits at Disneyland. I felt like I was king of the hill. If there remains a chance that your pages aren't completely gone, but just inaccessible, then your problem is a cake walk compared to mine. However, if it is the worst case scenario, and there remains no trace of those pages, then I am truly sorry. That is not a pleasant sitch to be in, Sonja Marie. I hope it all works out for you.

I got stressed out to fast it seems, but it was something added to my already bad day, so I was prone to it. I am still planning to move my sites in the next few days. Eskimo gives members 10mb free web space and I'm almost over mine on my whtrose account, and I still have tons of stuff I want to put up for my other webpages and this will give me that chance. I'll also be able to start at least 2 more lists, free, so that's a plus. Thanks again!

It was like a puzzle. Where you knocked out peices of ice with this hammer thing and tried to keep this small figure (midget?) on a block of ice in the middle from falling. If you knocked the peice that made him fall you lost. Pop culture reference?

I'm Hendu, not Bast. We're 2 different people, although I haven't seen much from Bast lately. Please don't confuse us, as I wouldn't want any flames intended for me directed at her.

This comment wasn't to dis nerds or anything. maybe 0 points would have been more appropriate, since Dave wasn't represented on the Quote list, but unfortunately I can't remember clearly what he said during the eq to repeat it here. > > > > MC-That's *not* where I dangle it. > > > > i thought it was "That's *not* where I'd (or would) dangle it."
